CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb bright & unworn set with just a handful of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Clean & bright playing surfaces which in strong daylight bear no scuff marks, scratches or any other significant visible wear. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals numerous wispy paper-type hairlines consistent with inner-sleeve removal but apart from that there is little more to fault on this well looked-after copy.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This barely played copy does not disappoint sound-wise and has clearly received only careful attention from good equipment. As a result, all tracks play cleanly & clearly with no traces of any groove/play wear on any track or in either channel. My careful playcheck at volume uncovered no clicks, pops, jumps or any other audible distraction or fault.
Cover
EXCELLENT -
A bright & clean example with an unblemished, high-gloss front panel where the only sign of wear is a single light 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the opening edge. There is a hint of bruising to the lower corners and some light wear to the opening edges of the rear pocket. The inside of the gatefold is clean & unmarked with no writing or missing paper. The rear panel has a small area of scuffing below the side 1 track list but is otherwise unblemished. All seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully laminated and clearly worded.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just a little storage creasing but no writing, seams splits or tears.
